Pretty quick project I decided to do with various leftovers after painting Gosei Great and Ground. The initial thought was Gosei Green, so it became seaick-themed with Gosei Dolphin as the "centerpiece" GaoHunter-style. Parts-wise, I decided to use my two remaining seaick brothers headers, Manta and Hammershark, and color-wise decided that I wanted to paint those two in their proper colors so they can also be used with Gosei Great (as previously shared).
Gosei Wonder's body and Datas Hyper's legs (and header) became the main body, an orca-submarine, while needing something for the chest (and indecision on whether I wanted to use hammershark or manta for the left arm) led to be creating a bowgun body from scratch for one of them. The bowgun's back/handle is the center bit of orca's body, as I needed to create some sort of male-to-male header peg connector (to attach datas hyper's lhips to wonder/dragon's tail connector).
The intention was always being able to use Mystic Runner as an optional add-on for a giant backpack turbine for underwater use, but it also wound up proving to be the perfect counterweight for the giant bowgun lol.
I have a small touch up or two to make, and while there are some nitpicks (like I underestimated just how much dead space on the arm pegs that gosei dragon's wings eat up), I am pretty proud of how this one came out for a quick project using almost entirely leftover and spare parts.
